On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 11th International Symposium on Functional Materials (ISFM 2026), to be held from August 4th to 7th, 2026, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Functional materials research continues to draw significant global interest due to its potential in developing nanostructured systems and its wide range of technological applications. Since its inception in 2005, the ISFM series has grown into a leading international forum, with successful editions held in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, 2005), Hangzhou (China, 2007), Jinju (Korea, 2009), Sendai (Japan, 2011), Perth (Australia, 2012), Singapore (2014), Changchun (China, 2016), Aachen (Germany, 2018), Hwaseong (Korea, 2021, Hybrid), and most recently, Sendai (Japan, 2024).

Building on the legacy of ISFM 2024, the ISFM 2026 symposium will continue to highlight cutting-edge research and development in key areas such as environmental materials, electronic materials, energy materials, biomedical materials, and other related functional materials. This event aims to bring together leading scientists, engineers, and researchers from around the world to share innovations, explore interdisciplinary collaborations, and bridge the gap between fundamental science, engineering applications, and commercial viability.

We are confident that your participation and contributions will enrich the scientific discussions and inspire future advancements. We also hope you will enjoy the vibrant culture, historical richness, and warm hospitality of Yogyakarta, one of the royal capitals in Java.

We look forward to welcoming you to ISFM 2026!
